Hi, just a quick curiosity.
How many arosians here have a raspberry 3 and how many uses it to play with aros/amiga stuff?

(Sooner or later i will need to choose how the bare metal enviroment will be, atm all the baremetal setup i am using is done by emu64, but i am not sure if this would be the best approach.)

Would aros arm native be ok with the uboot? I dont know exactly how aros arm native and aros 68k could live in a Nice setup, but have the option to select one or another seems to be a good first step.

If someone allready played with this kind of thing, i would like to know the experience.

I allready know that aros68k supports rdb nested into mbr, but i dont know yet what aros arm native expects on the sdcard.

Regards,

Rather than a 3 what about a zero 2 W which is equivalent to a 3B but smaller, cheaper and is guranteed to still be in production until 2030?

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. full transparency - I have a zero 2 W so if you do decide to go with that I'd be very happy to test.

Well, i said rpi3b cause is the exact model that i own, but for sure there are near variants, like zero 2 w, not like >4

Got the message!

I have a Raspberry Pi 3b that I have kept around hoping that AROS Arm would land on this SBC one day. I am all for AROS native ARM. I think it can open to a world of development just like we have seen with SDL2. As a second choice, AROS 68K on an emulation layer/hypervisor such as emu68 or whatever. However, I think AROS 68K, while is a cool and nice OS to have, will always be limited by the limitations of 68K CPU. It's an old platform that hasn't seen newer development in decades. It's time to move on modern CPU architectures IMHO.

Doesn't work as far as I recall.

Yup, over last two months there has been TONS of work being done to RPi port by Bo Stale Kopperud. I already saw video showing AROS booting on RPi and playing Quake 2 with accelerated 3D. If you are interested in AROS for Raspeberry Pi how head and try the builds from www.aros.org.

Do you know where did him found the 3d accel @deadwood ?

The gpu driver is the painfull piece of code afaik.

As i said, all the baremetal setup atm i am using from emu68, but it seems to be more logical to have it coming from aros native.

I still dont know nothing about aros arm native, but in the long run i would like to harmonize those 2 diferents worlds (aros arm native with aros 68k) on the raspberry pi (<4) land.

I dont have a clue of how yet, but it seems to be the direction.

As far as I understand the 3D driver is gallium-based and simply part of Mesa package, but I don't really have details. Would be great for Bo to give some more information on this work.
